HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES OF OHIO DEBATE ON THE MOTION TO REJECT A PETITION FROM NEGROES. Mr. ANDREWS, of Franklin. Baid: Mr. Speaker. 1 know not what may be the feeling of membereof thia ousc in regard to the question Deinre ub, out to me it one of doep interest. The expediency of changing; our uws, in order lo meet the wishes of llio black popula tion of this State, has already been passed upon hy the Judiciary Committee j nnd, as a member of that com mittee, I gave, and now roucw, mv unqualified assent to e reperi suuimiieu ny mem, nuu wuitti iwyi uoa upuii ur tauie. uut ttie genueintin ironi ijiciung mr. ood) is not satisfied with the report of that coinimiiee. nor with the declaration of this House, that it is inexpe dient to legislate further in buuslt ol mo negroos. tie would deny to them oven the poor privilege of atkiitg us thus to legislate; he moves to reject thoir petitions. The question presented for our decision, then, is simply this t bhall human beings who are bound by every enactment upon our statute book, bo permitted to requeit the Legislature io mouiiy or so lie n ine laws uiiuct wmcn ey live. I con less I was somewhat sturiled nt Ine proposition the ffentlemnn from Licking, and I was lea to inquire ho n- thul genilemuii bad found his precedent for thus Hitting up the mouths of men. I looked into historv. that lung dark catalogue ol human suffering, and among e thousand refinement ot tyranny thnt kings and leg lators have stamped upon its panes, 1 found it nowhere recorded to the disgrace ol huiiuta nature, that even despotism, iu its worn! lormp, has ever dared to deny to human bcingt the right to ask for relief. Nor has this pri- ilcgo been conluird lu thusu whom the allotments of rovidencc have culled to tjste the cup of human wretch edness: even the criminal violator of the laws of God and rnnn, in every age and in every nntion under heaven, ius been permuted lo enjoy this lust great prerogative f misery and guilt. In this age of benevolence, and under the only tree government that evor existed, wo are this dny called upon, deliberately, to blot out the on- nriit tnnt lias survived the tyranny ot lormer ages. Uut gentleirK-n tell us-that negroes have no right, un-r the constitution, to petition the Lcirislaturc; and the gentleman from Fairfield (Mr, Urough) expresses a doubt whether the Legislmure bns even the constitu- tonal right to receive such a petition. Wow, sir, l al-irm lhat tin ritrlit of petition is one of those " inherent and inalienable" rights which your constitution recog nizes as pnrnmottnt to an written constitutions a right which c .in ted before constitutions or civil governments iad a licing, nnu watch will continue lo exist when they ih nil nil have pnsaed away. Lot me ask gentleman, .hu claim that the right ol petition is the mere crealuro fa written constitution, on what was thnt ureal right based, when before even the constitution of the United b'ntes w:is trained, that great champion ol freedom, (Patrick Henry,) in holding up to his countrymen the most daring violations nf right by British tyranny, affirmed that "our petitions had been sliirhted, our remon strances bad produced additional violence and insult, our supplications had been disregarded, and we hnd been ijuirucd, with coutempt, trom the toot ot the throne." f gentlemen are right in the position which they have assumed, then these were not just grounds of complaint ngoinst British oppression, because wo had then no teril ten constitution securing to us the right ofpetition. diii, air, imc ngui oi every numan oemg io pcmion ins government did then exist; and I defy gentlemen to (joint mo to any clause tn our constitution or laws that tias taken away, or io the least decree abridged, that sa cred right. It io true, our government has been since changed ; an otiiotis monarchy has given place to a free snu republican constitution, uut win gentlemen uaro to assert, that the American revolution, of itself, de stroyed a right, the violation of which was one of tho in n n y causes that called the colonists to arms? But we ore told Ihut the nineteenth section ol the ighth article of the constitution of OhioffiVeitothe people of the State the rinht of petition, and that the consti- inn embraces onlv the white neonle of-the State who are, or may be, citizens thereof fond, therefore, that negroes have no constitutional right to petition. Tho section alluded lo is in these words:" That the people havo a right to assemble together in a peaceable manner to consult for their common good, to instruct their repre sentatives, nnd to apply to Ihe Le2itturo for a redress of grievances.11 Now, sir, I alUrm, without fear of sue- cesslul contradiction, that this clause in our constitution has nothing to do with the simple right of petition. If gentlemen will turn to the laws of England that were in existence at tho time when the constitutions of the United .States, and of this Htate were framed, they will find the true reason for this constitutional provision! thev will find that, in ordor to prevent what was termed tu mutinous petitioning) t was enacted by the statute of i, t it ufies ii:i not not more man twenty names hall be signed to any petition to the King, or cither House of Parliament, for any alteration of matters est lib elled by law in church or State, unless the contents thereof be previously approved in tho country by three us nee s, or the majority ol the grand jury at the assizes orquartcr-aesrjionn; and in 1 -on don by the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and common council j and that no petition shall be delivered by a company of more than ten per sons, on pain, in either case, ol incurring a penalty not exceeding one hundred pouuds and three months' imprisonment. ' They will nUo find, that all riotout assent blagcty is they were termed, u (hut should be set on foot with intention to oner violence to tho I'nvy Council, or to change tlie laws of the kinH-tm or for certain other purposes, were made felony, in case the individuals assembled did not, when commanded by proclamation, iimn wnn aisperse. It is auainst tyrannical enactments like these, that this el auto of your constitution in pointed ; it is a solemn declaration, that the people shall hava a right to assemble together and sign their names to a petition for a redress of grievances, without the pentuMion of justices of ihe peace, or grand juries, or lord mayors; ami that leu thousand persons may peacenhly present their petition, without incurring the penalties of fine and imprisonment.But, sir, let us trace this new doctrine of gentlemen a little further. 1 find in the 6rst article of ihe amend ments lo tho constitution of the United States, a similar guaranty of the right of tho people peaceably to assent 1)1 e aud to petition the Government fur a redress of grievances. Now, according to the argument of gentlemen. this clause in the amendments to tho constitution is tho sourer and origin of the right of petition; ol course, that right could not have extstc1 under the constitution ol Mio United Htatrs as originally framed; and, bad no amendments been made to that instrument, it must have destroyed forever in this country the grout right of petition. The bara statement of the proposition stamps absurdity on ihe face of it. But, taking tho gentlemen on their own grounds, to whom does the nineteenth section of ihe eighth article ot the constitution of Ohio apply 1 Gentlemen point us to toe wordf, " wr, ine people," at the comments incut of the prcamMo of the constitution; and presuming that these words cmhrncc only the nv.'u'f proWc of the Htnte, they tell us thnt the amue meaning must be attached to the word "people'1 wherever it occurs in luhacuumt eliiuara of the conalitution; or, in other words, that the constitution contemplates white people onlv. Now, mat ihe iratnersoi uie constitution did re gar J negroes ns inhabitants of the State, end as com in a within the provisions ui ilittt instrument, to evident Iruin the fact, Hint tlto second section ol tho eighth article expressly mentions negroes and mulatto persona. But, any gen tlemen, tho hlncks are not embraced in this nineteenth section ol the same article, for tho very reason that (hoy aro nut thus eritrttsh mentioned. Now.sir.lct uannplv this principle of conMrncfinn to mher clauses of the con stitution in which blacks ara not expressly mentioned. Section third of article eighth, declares, that1 all men havo a natural and indefensible, right to warship Almighty God according to tho dictates of conacicnco." Docs this mean trm.f tw onlv. if so. iben Ihe negro. on the principle for which grntlcmcn contend, having no ri'ht whirn is not given hun hy the conalitution, cannot even Viuraliin Cod. Biclion fourth declares, that u private property shall ever be held inviolate." Dors line mean the property of white men only! Section fifth declares, lliat " the ptaplt shall lie aec'ure in their persons, houses, papers, possasioit.," etc. Dors this mi-nn trAifeiroorrxuluaivuly. Auction seventh declares, that ''all courts .hall be open, and every person for an injur), etc., shall huva remedy." Aroourc iurtaof jus-lieu open only lo while men 1 Uut, look mil further, al the penal enactments in your ststuie iiook. I lie nrst sectiunol your " act lor ihe punishment of crimes" drilarrs, that "if any person shall purposely, of deliberate ami premeditated malice, kill auoiher, lie shall sulfer death.' And does this seciinn extend lo while men onlv! On what principle, sir. do gentlemen thus exclude negroes from the provisions of one ciauac oi your constitution, while tney are torcea la admit that they are embraced in numcroua otherclauiea ol that instrument, and in the general laws ol Ihe land! Do gentlemen drnw ihe distinction that, whenever tha conalitution and lawa conler privileges, they embrace teiite men, and thnt they extend oulv to negroes when they impose disabilities! When your laws give pro- tectum, is n io uie wnue man atone; and do tney recognise the negro only to inflict punishment upon hun! I can see no other principle on which the argument of gen-tlomen can bo sustained. Bui, again i Section first of the fourth article of your constitution provides, that " in all elections, all wailf male inhabitants, above tho age of twenty-one years, having resided in the State one year next preceding the election, and who have paid, or are charged with, a county tax, shall enjoy the right of an elector." The lan - uugeoiinisaecuon, winch expressly cxciuaa oiacitsirom lH nniovmcnt nf thn ritrht nf uttftno mvavoa. hovnnrl doubt, that the framcrs of the constitution considered them as embraced within the other general provisions ol mai uiiuruiiioiu) ami me caraiui limitation oi in is section to the " white" inhabitants of the State, is susceptible of no other explanation. But, sir, I have alluded to the fourth section of the eighth article of the constitution, which secures the enjoyment of private property. Now, suppose your Canal Commissioners, or soiua other of the numerous agents of the State, should take the farm, or other property, of a neg"ro for public purposes, and should withhold from him a just compensation and there aro numerous case of this character now beforo us, in some of which we have granted relief if the negro has no right to petition the ucfm.oiurc, wncio is ma remeuy I Nay, further than this. suDOuse an aoent of tha Kit should, within the limit of his authority, make a can- tract with a negro, and should afterwards refuse to fulfil the stipulations into which, in behalf of the Stole, he had entered, and the State should thus, by her agent, be made the instrument of oppression: what remedy will gentlemen point out for this violation of constitutional right? Your Stato cannot bo sued even by a white man; and will gentlemen deny to a negro, whom the agent of the State may have defrauded, even the privilege of asking for justice at our hands! But it is said, thnt the constitution has not given to negroes the right of petition; and gentlemen declare that conscientious scruples forbid them to accord to any individual, rights which they do not find expressed in the jjuviaiunB ui mm instrument. L,et me ask gentlemen to point out any clauso of tho constitution that nermita citizens of another Stato or aliens to petition; and, if i c uv im bucii ciausc, wnere were nil these conscientious scruples when the gentleman from Licking (Mr. 'a"uui mumiuii'u, uuruig ine present session, the petition of an alien asking that he might be relieved from certain disabilities, and which relief most of us voted to extend to hun. Why havo these conscientious scruDlcs been suffered to sleep under the introduction and rnfor. ence of the petitions of thousands of tho ladies of your state, to whom, it is admitted by gentlemen, that the constitution has not expressly grunted the right of petition? I cannot believe that a regard for the rofeiof bus- i-iiiub, aim miners, ana u miners will tnlluence a legislator in giving a construction to tho constitution. I am bound to believe that conscientious scruples will compel gentlemen hereafter to move the rejection o( all petitions that do not come within the express provisions of thnt instrument. But, sir, the truth is, gentlemen are wrong, wholly wrong in the view they take of the right of petition, ft ia a right paramount to all written constitutions one which they have not given, and which they cannot take away. It is not even limited to man. Every thing that lives and moves and has a being, has received this right from the hand of the great Creator. It is this same right which enables the bruto creation to make known their wants to man. Your dog in distress whines at the feet of his mastei ; and where ia the monster that would stifle the cries by which nature thus bids him ask for relief? Throughout tho whole range of animal existences, from the highest to the lowest, the God of nature has made tho right of petition the prerogative of distress; and who arc we, that we should refuse to listen to the cries of a human being, upon whose forehead the Deity stamped the right of petition when first he made him erect with hia laco towards heaven! Can the Great Lawgiver of tho Universe stoop to hear the humblest of the crcaiuresof his hand; and are wo so exalted. so diir- niued, so unapproachable a body, aa that we should shut the mouth of a human beinir because tho Creator has made him of a different color from our own? But, air, t us trace this new doctrine a littlo farther, snd apply it lo other departments of our government. If it be truo that negroes are not contemplated by our constitution, and if lor that reason this Legislature con not receive their petitions, on what authority do your courts of justice recognize the rights of a negro? why are not your judges, like the gentleman from I'airfiild, com polled by conscientioua scruples to drive the negro from their presence? Sir, if any judge within our borders should dare to put such a construction upon our constitution, would not the genilcmon from Licking forthwith call the attention of this House to so gross an inautt to public jiiaticei and would not we. as a Legislature, with one voice degrade from his high station tho man who should ihus, undercover o) law, trample upon all lawa human and divine? And yet, air, the unjust judge who should thus shock tho moral sense of mankind, would. on the principles that have been this day advanced, be onlv performing a high duty under ihe constitution. But still further: Suppose a petition were presented by a negro to the Governor of your State, respectfully Bondiing nis Ktna oincesana protection iu a matter coming within hie supervision; suppose even a verbsl request, for so far as the riht of petition is concerned, it in an era not wneiner uie petition bo written or verbal, must the conscientious constiutional scruplesnf the Chief MBgistratetriumph over ihe belter feelings which 1 know he posnesscs as a man; and must he too, as a matter of duty, drive wretchedness from his door? But, sir, I will pursue the argument no farther. What ever may he tho decision of this House, of ono thing I nm certain you cannot destroy the right of petition. You may reject this petition and vou niav stercotvna that rejection upon your journal or upon your statute book,ijut it will be all in vain. Tou en n not erush the vmpaihtcsof the human heart above all, yu cannot uaco mo taws mat uoa nas written there, in such on flon, like the fool-hnrdy king of England, you will find ourselves standing on the shore, and attempting to roll aca tne wares oi tno sea. But, sir, the gentlemen tell us that it ia erneJient to reject this petition, in order to quiet snd discountenance as far ns in us lies the movements of the abolitionists. And here permit me to say, thai no man deplores moro deeply than I do the exisienco of tho excitement that pervades this country on the subject of slavery, I am satisfied that it can do no good; nay, farther than this, u is in y inn oe i it i mat unieas staved in its progress, it will at no distant day-clTcci the dissolution of this Union. I believe with the great political philoeonher ot the day. that no remedy can be devised by man for ihe curse of slavery that reals upon us. Coloniiation, though it may couler ihe bleasinga of civilisation upon Africa, can f- loru 10 us no aunsisntisi reuci. Amalgamation, which must sooner or later root out slavery in everv country in wnicn ine eiave is oi ina same race and color with his master, is hers forbidden bv a natural sentiment m now. erful ss almost lo assume the authority of a Divine com mand, the n grors cannot men be transported out nf our euuiury, uur can uiey insensioiy Dlena wnn, snd be lost in the mass ol our while population. Thev must remain a separate and distinct race furevcr. 8uppose, then, lhat ihe elavea of thn south should, in accordance with Iho wishes of the abolitionists, be freed from their their masters. It will hsrdly be claimed that political righta ahould also be accorded lo thorn, for thia in Ihe Slates whore ihey eromore numerous than the whiles wouiu give inein ine government aiao. now what, under such a state of things, would be the relative com i lion ot the two racea! tin the one hand would he the white! poaaessed of tha wealth, the intelligence, Ihe po ll power oi tue country ; and on Ihe other ihe blaeks, poor, degraded, destitute aa ihey now are of all political and social privileges, and only cursed with what muet be, even it granted to the fulleai practicable extent, a mere mockery oi ireeauin. History and philosophy alike tell us that freemen cannot long share so uneuual a lot lo- Ji'lher, and that sooner or later ono race muat and will rivo oul or exterminate the other. I look upon slavery, men, aa ma only possiuio condition on which ths two races in uur aouiiiorn country oan long exist together, i do not say, nor do I believe, thai slavery will exist for evur: I only aaert that Ihe philanthropy of Ihe aire. with all ila strength, ia utterly powerless before tins great evil. It is our unly consolation thai the linal issue of slavory ia in the hands of the great ruler of Stalea and Empires. bet, sir, let us examino this question of expediency, nnd see whether gentlemen are right tn their supposition that the rejection of iho pennon, ol Marks will alloy the excitement that prevnila among the abolitionists. And what ia il, sir, that getiilruirn profess lo frar from the aholitionitls! We were told tlie oilier day that unieas put duwn, they will, in order lo carry out their purposes, violate the constitution. And how do gentlemen propose to allay this excitement lhat threatens to violate the constitution! Vhy,sir,by violating the constitution themselves. Yes, sir. by committing what I believe, and what thousands ol our cilixeos conscientiously believe to be not only a violation of our constitution, but a violation ol a law Itiat is above all written eotiaiituiiona tho very law of our being. Uut again i of what do the almliiiouistscotiiplsin! They tell ua thai we have already deprived Ihe negro of righta lo which he is justly entitled, and ihey demand at our hands a restoration of these rights to him. And how do gentlemen propose lo meot these doniands! Why, sir, by depriving the negro of the only political right which even his Iricntlscsri olnim for In in under iheconalitulioui and ihis, il is said, is to quiet oxcitement. Bui wo are told, that it is time to take a bold and do-elded stand against the promulgation of doctrines that threaten, not only the tuin of tho alaveholding Slates, but even tho existence of the Qoverament. The gentle- man from Fairfield throw himself into tho breach, and he tells us that, if the (orient must overwhelm him, he is ready for the sacrifice. The gentleman from Licking declares that, at every hazard, these dangerous agitations must cease. And what earnest do the gentlemen give us of the sacrifices which they aland ready to make in this last desperato effort to save the nation? Do they move to reject the petitions of abolitionists? Do they move to reject tho petitions of ladies on this subject, who, it is admitted, are nut expressly permitted by tha constitution to petition? No, sir, the first great onset in this opening conflict is made upon the petition of aiz negroes! Let me tell gentlemen that it is not by assault a like these that oxoitementa are to be crushed or parties to be broken down. The history of the wo. M, air, furnishes the best com mentary upon all efforts to 'rumple upon the inherent and inalienable rights of men. The rapel anathemaa, Dacnea Dy uie tyranny ol temporal pnncea, were sent forth to guiet agitation among the champions of there-formation t and the fires of Smithfield wora ankindlad ta stop the mouths of men. Let statesmen look at their re- suits, ana learn wisdom trom the past. rnuosopny, too, teaches us lhat the minds of men are not to be quieted by insult, and a wanton disregard of justice. We should deal honestly with these petition ers; and if we must deny them their request, we should at least explain to them the reasons lhat influence us, u.u buubi j mum uiai our determination anaes, not from the want of the common feeling of humanity, bat from i solemn conviction of duty. i Mr. Speaker, I trust tho decision of the House will be right upon this great q uestion. Men and parties change excitements, with their causes, are soon forgotten f but principles are eternal. I could wish that day, establish a permanent precedent, that .hall aland a. a monument of tho firmnesa and justice of this House ' wncn me present generation, with all its inlerests, and fears, and hopes, shall have oaaaed awav. I dn not nn. aider it deroratory to the dignity of this honorable bod lo listen to the petitions of these human beings. Three centuries of oppression have bowed the spirit of theirrae io uie uuai. iney present themselves at our door,' and respectfully and humbly a. It for relief. Let us, et il-ii.i, rciuse mem wnn mnanessana in nieroyi and let no man be found among us who would stretch lorth his hand to break a reed, that God and man hava bolb to deeply bruised. Sir. this is no party auealion. laooeal to irenilem.n whether Thomne JcfTerson, the great apostle of democracy, whom they claim as their champion and leader, and whose benevolence waa aa wide aa the world, would, ercn while he lived, hava recorded his vole against the rightof petition! I repeal it, sir, this is not a party question. But, if it must be made so if Ihe bitiernesso? par--ty feeling must mingle with the discussion of a great constitutional right, be it so I, for one, shall lot shrink - irom mo conflict. We Hingoulour broad banner,and upon its folds we slnmpour mutto,"Ths rightof petition, in all its length and breadth, to every human being." Let the gentlemen lift up their standard also, and,aa it opens to ihebrerie, let it unfold Ihe worda, "Down with the ' right of petition." I trust, sir, that no Whig will be found to slain his hands with holding up this libel on ra- ' publicanism. For lb. Joarasl and leglstar. . Brough, Etq.t ( Sir The resolution which you offered aa in amendment to those offered by Mr. Flood, in the following worda: "Rwilttd, That the blacks and mulattoes, who may be residenls within this 8tau, hare no constitutional ri'.'ht to present their petitions to the General Aaaembly, for any purpose whalemn and that any reception of such petitions en the part of tlio General Aaaembly, ia t mere act of privilege or policy, and , not imposed by any express or implied powers of the Constitution," if not a Jargon of unintelligible words, is a denial of the right of petition by vir- 1 tue of inherent power possessed by the General Aaaembly, which you have failed lo describe.

A privilege is an immunity or publio right, or it may he understood to grant or to exempt I am told you '" are a scholar, and can toll us the sense In whfch we ' are to understand you. If a publie right, it la the right of Ihe people, and must be enjoyed by negroes and mulattoes as well aa others, unless they be not people. If not people, what are they! If this right is to ba granted by the Legislature, and is the privilege of , that body, we would ask vou how they came to noa- seaa ill If this right ia nothing but mere policy, it ! still resolves itself into the same question ia it a policy io oe exercised uy lite people, ot is It ona con- ' nnca to tne legislature as such!

HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES OF OHIO DEBATE ON THE MOTION TO REJECT A PETITION FROM NEGROES. Mr. ANDREWS, of Franklin. Baid: Mr. Speaker. 1 know not what may be the feeling of membereof thia ousc in regard to the question Deinre ub, out to me it one of doep interest. The expediency of changing; our uws, in order lo meet the wishes of llio black popula tion of this State, has already been passed upon hy the Judiciary Committee j nnd, as a member of that com mittee, I gave, and now roucw, mv unqualified assent to e reperi suuimiieu ny mem, nuu wuitti iwyi uoa upuii ur tauie. uut ttie genueintin ironi ijiciung mr. ood) is not satisfied with the report of that coinimiiee. nor with the declaration of this House, that it is inexpe dient to legislate further in buuslt ol mo negroos. tie would deny to them oven the poor privilege of atkiitg us thus to legislate; he moves to reject thoir petitions. The question presented for our decision, then, is simply this t bhall human beings who are bound by every enactment upon our statute book, bo permitted to requeit the Legislature io mouiiy or so lie n ine laws uiiuct wmcn ey live. I con less I was somewhat sturiled nt Ine proposition the ffentlemnn from Licking, and I was lea to inquire ho n- thul genilemuii bad found his precedent for thus Hitting up the mouths of men. I looked into historv. that lung dark catalogue ol human suffering, and among e thousand refinement ot tyranny thnt kings and leg lators have stamped upon its panes, 1 found it nowhere recorded to the disgrace ol huiiuta nature, that even despotism, iu its worn! lormp, has ever dared to deny to human bcingt the right to ask for relief. Nor has this pri- ilcgo been conluird lu thusu whom the allotments of rovidencc have culled to tjste the cup of human wretch edness: even the criminal violator of the laws of God and rnnn, in every age and in every nntion under heaven, ius been permuted lo enjoy this lust great prerogative f misery and guilt. In this age of benevolence, and under the only tree government that evor existed, wo are this dny called upon, deliberately, to blot out the on- nriit tnnt lias survived the tyranny ot lormer ages. Uut gentleirK-n tell us-that negroes have no right, un-r the constitution, to petition the Lcirislaturc; and the gentleman from Fairfield (Mr, Urough) expresses a doubt whether the Legislmure bns even the constitu- tonal right to receive such a petition. Wow, sir, l al-irm lhat tin ritrlit of petition is one of those " inherent and inalienable" rights which your constitution recog nizes as pnrnmottnt to an written constitutions a right which c .in ted before constitutions or civil governments iad a licing, nnu watch will continue lo exist when they ih nil nil have pnsaed away. Lot me ask gentleman, .hu claim that the right ol petition is the mere crealuro fa written constitution, on what was thnt ureal right based, when before even the constitution of the United b'ntes w:is trained, that great champion ol freedom, (Patrick Henry,) in holding up to his countrymen the most daring violations nf right by British tyranny, affirmed that "our petitions had been sliirhted, our remon strances bad produced additional violence and insult, our supplications had been disregarded, and we hnd been ijuirucd, with coutempt, trom the toot ot the throne." f gentlemen are right in the position which they have assumed, then these were not just grounds of complaint ngoinst British oppression, because wo had then no teril ten constitution securing to us the right ofpetition. diii, air, imc ngui oi every numan oemg io pcmion ins government did then exist; and I defy gentlemen to (joint mo to any clause tn our constitution or laws that tias taken away, or io the least decree abridged, that sa cred right. It io true, our government has been since changed ; an otiiotis monarchy has given place to a free snu republican constitution, uut win gentlemen uaro to assert, that the American revolution, of itself, de stroyed a right, the violation of which was one of tho in n n y causes that called the colonists to arms? But we ore told Ihut the nineteenth section ol the ighth article of the constitution of OhioffiVeitothe people of the State the rinht of petition, and that the consti- inn embraces onlv the white neonle of-the State who are, or may be, citizens thereof fond, therefore, that negroes have no constitutional right to petition. Tho section alluded lo is in these words:" That the people havo a right to assemble together in a peaceable manner to consult for their common good, to instruct their repre sentatives, nnd to apply to Ihe Le2itturo for a redress of grievances.11 Now, sir, I alUrm, without fear of sue- cesslul contradiction, that this clause in our constitution has nothing to do with the simple right of petition. If gentlemen will turn to the laws of England that were in existence at tho time when the constitutions of the United .States, and of this Htate were framed, they will find the true reason for this constitutional provision! thev will find that, in ordor to prevent what was termed tu mutinous petitioning) t was enacted by the statute of i, t it ufies ii:i not not more man twenty names hall be signed to any petition to the King, or cither House of Parliament, for any alteration of matters est lib elled by law in church or State, unless the contents thereof be previously approved in tho country by three us nee s, or the majority ol the grand jury at the assizes orquartcr-aesrjionn; and in 1 -on don by the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and common council j and that no petition shall be delivered by a company of more than ten per sons, on pain, in either case, ol incurring a penalty not exceeding one hundred pouuds and three months' imprisonment. ' They will nUo find, that all riotout assent blagcty is they were termed, u (hut should be set on foot with intention to oner violence to tho I'nvy Council, or to change tlie laws of the kinH-tm or for certain other purposes, were made felony, in case the individuals assembled did not, when commanded by proclamation, iimn wnn aisperse. It is auainst tyrannical enactments like these, that this el auto of your constitution in pointed ; it is a solemn declaration, that the people shall hava a right to assemble together and sign their names to a petition for a redress of grievances, without the pentuMion of justices of ihe peace, or grand juries, or lord mayors; ami that leu thousand persons may peacenhly present their petition, without incurring the penalties of fine and imprisonment.But, sir, let us trace this new doctrine of gentlemen a little further. 1 find in the 6rst article of ihe amend ments lo tho constitution of the United States, a similar guaranty of the right of tho people peaceably to assent 1)1 e aud to petition the Government fur a redress of grievances. Now, according to the argument of gentlemen. this clause in the amendments to tho constitution is tho sourer and origin of the right of petition; ol course, that right could not have extstc1 under the constitution ol Mio United Htatrs as originally framed; and, bad no amendments been made to that instrument, it must have destroyed forever in this country the grout right of petition. The bara statement of the proposition stamps absurdity on ihe face of it. But, taking tho gentlemen on their own grounds, to whom does the nineteenth section of ihe eighth article ot the constitution of Ohio apply 1 Gentlemen point us to toe wordf, " wr, ine people," at the comments incut of the prcamMo of the constitution; and presuming that these words cmhrncc only the nv.'u'f proWc of the Htnte, they tell us thnt the amue meaning must be attached to the word "people'1 wherever it occurs in luhacuumt eliiuara of the conalitution; or, in other words, that the constitution contemplates white people onlv. Now, mat ihe iratnersoi uie constitution did re gar J negroes ns inhabitants of the State, end as com in a within the provisions ui ilittt instrument, to evident Iruin the fact, Hint tlto second section ol tho eighth article expressly mentions negroes and mulatto persona. But, any gen tlemen, tho hlncks are not embraced in this nineteenth section ol the same article, for tho very reason that (hoy aro nut thus eritrttsh mentioned. Now.sir.lct uannplv this principle of conMrncfinn to mher clauses of the con stitution in which blacks ara not expressly mentioned. Section third of article eighth, declares, that1 all men havo a natural and indefensible, right to warship Almighty God according to tho dictates of conacicnco." Docs this mean trm.f tw onlv. if so. iben Ihe negro. on the principle for which grntlcmcn contend, having no ri'ht whirn is not given hun hy the conalitution, cannot even Viuraliin Cod. Biclion fourth declares, that u private property shall ever be held inviolate." Dors line mean the property of white men only! Section fifth declares, lliat " the ptaplt shall lie aec'ure in their persons, houses, papers, possasioit.," etc. Dors this mi-nn trAifeiroorrxuluaivuly. Auction seventh declares, that ''all courts .hall be open, and every person for an injur), etc., shall huva remedy." Aroourc iurtaof jus-lieu open only lo while men 1 Uut, look mil further, al the penal enactments in your ststuie iiook. I lie nrst sectiunol your " act lor ihe punishment of crimes" drilarrs, that "if any person shall purposely, of deliberate ami premeditated malice, kill auoiher, lie shall sulfer death.' And does this seciinn extend lo while men onlv! On what principle, sir. do gentlemen thus exclude negroes from the provisions of one ciauac oi your constitution, while tney are torcea la admit that they are embraced in numcroua otherclauiea ol that instrument, and in the general laws ol Ihe land! Do gentlemen drnw ihe distinction that, whenever tha conalitution and lawa conler privileges, they embrace teiite men, and thnt they extend oulv to negroes when they impose disabilities! When your laws give pro- tectum, is n io uie wnue man atone; and do tney recognise the negro only to inflict punishment upon hun! I can see no other principle on which the argument of gen-tlomen can bo sustained. Bui, again i Section first of the fourth article of your constitution provides, that " in all elections, all wailf male inhabitants, above tho age of twenty-one years, having resided in the State one year next preceding the election, and who have paid, or are charged with, a county tax, shall enjoy the right of an elector." The lan - uugeoiinisaecuon, winch expressly cxciuaa oiacitsirom lH nniovmcnt nf thn ritrht nf uttftno mvavoa. hovnnrl doubt, that the framcrs of the constitution considered them as embraced within the other general provisions ol mai uiiuruiiioiu) ami me caraiui limitation oi in is section to the " white" inhabitants of the State, is susceptible of no other explanation. But, sir, I have alluded to the fourth section of the eighth article of the constitution, which secures the enjoyment of private property. Now, suppose your Canal Commissioners, or soiua other of the numerous agents of the State, should take the farm, or other property, of a neg"ro for public purposes, and should withhold from him a just compensation and there aro numerous case of this character now beforo us, in some of which we have granted relief if the negro has no right to petition the ucfm.oiurc, wncio is ma remeuy I Nay, further than this. suDOuse an aoent of tha Kit should, within the limit of his authority, make a can- tract with a negro, and should afterwards refuse to fulfil the stipulations into which, in behalf of the Stole, he had entered, and the State should thus, by her agent, be made the instrument of oppression: what remedy will gentlemen point out for this violation of constitutional right? Your Stato cannot bo sued even by a white man; and will gentlemen deny to a negro, whom the agent of the State may have defrauded, even the privilege of asking for justice at our hands! But it is said, thnt the constitution has not given to negroes the right of petition; and gentlemen declare that conscientious scruples forbid them to accord to any individual, rights which they do not find expressed in the jjuviaiunB ui mm instrument. L,et me ask gentlemen to point out any clauso of tho constitution that nermita citizens of another Stato or aliens to petition; and, if i c uv im bucii ciausc, wnere were nil these conscientious scruples when the gentleman from Licking (Mr. 'a"uui mumiuii'u, uuruig ine present session, the petition of an alien asking that he might be relieved from certain disabilities, and which relief most of us voted to extend to hun. Why havo these conscientious scruDlcs been suffered to sleep under the introduction and rnfor. ence of the petitions of thousands of tho ladies of your state, to whom, it is admitted by gentlemen, that the constitution has not expressly grunted the right of petition? I cannot believe that a regard for the rofeiof bus- i-iiiub, aim miners, ana u miners will tnlluence a legislator in giving a construction to tho constitution. I am bound to believe that conscientious scruples will compel gentlemen hereafter to move the rejection o( all petitions that do not come within the express provisions of thnt instrument. But, sir, the truth is, gentlemen are wrong, wholly wrong in the view they take of the right of petition, ft ia a right paramount to all written constitutions one which they have not given, and which they cannot take away. It is not even limited to man. Every thing that lives and moves and has a being, has received this right from the hand of the great Creator. It is this same right which enables the bruto creation to make known their wants to man. Your dog in distress whines at the feet of his mastei ; and where ia the monster that would stifle the cries by which nature thus bids him ask for relief? Throughout tho whole range of animal existences, from the highest to the lowest, the God of nature has made tho right of petition the prerogative of distress; and who arc we, that we should refuse to listen to the cries of a human being, upon whose forehead the Deity stamped the right of petition when first he made him erect with hia laco towards heaven! Can the Great Lawgiver of tho Universe stoop to hear the humblest of the crcaiuresof his hand; and are wo so exalted. so diir- niued, so unapproachable a body, aa that we should shut the mouth of a human beinir because tho Creator has made him of a different color from our own? But, air, t us trace this new doctrine a littlo farther, snd apply it lo other departments of our government. If it be truo that negroes are not contemplated by our constitution, and if lor that reason this Legislature con not receive their petitions, on what authority do your courts of justice recognize the rights of a negro? why are not your judges, like the gentleman from I'airfiild, com polled by conscientioua scruples to drive the negro from their presence? Sir, if any judge within our borders should dare to put such a construction upon our constitution, would not the genilcmon from Licking forthwith call the attention of this House to so gross an inautt to public jiiaticei and would not we. as a Legislature, with one voice degrade from his high station tho man who should ihus, undercover o) law, trample upon all lawa human and divine? And yet, air, the unjust judge who should thus shock tho moral sense of mankind, would. on the principles that have been this day advanced, be onlv performing a high duty under ihe constitution. But still further: Suppose a petition were presented by a negro to the Governor of your State, respectfully Bondiing nis Ktna oincesana protection iu a matter coming within hie supervision; suppose even a verbsl request, for so far as the riht of petition is concerned, it in an era not wneiner uie petition bo written or verbal, must the conscientious constiutional scruplesnf the Chief MBgistratetriumph over ihe belter feelings which 1 know he posnesscs as a man; and must he too, as a matter of duty, drive wretchedness from his door? But, sir, I will pursue the argument no farther. What ever may he tho decision of this House, of ono thing I nm certain you cannot destroy the right of petition. You may reject this petition and vou niav stercotvna that rejection upon your journal or upon your statute book,ijut it will be all in vain. Tou en n not erush the vmpaihtcsof the human heart above all, yu cannot uaco mo taws mat uoa nas written there, in such on flon, like the fool-hnrdy king of England, you will find ourselves standing on the shore, and attempting to roll aca tne wares oi tno sea. But, sir, the gentlemen tell us that it ia erneJient to reject this petition, in order to quiet snd discountenance as far ns in us lies the movements of the abolitionists. And here permit me to say, thai no man deplores moro deeply than I do the exisienco of tho excitement that pervades this country on the subject of slavery, I am satisfied that it can do no good; nay, farther than this, u is in y inn oe i it i mat unieas staved in its progress, it will at no distant day-clTcci the dissolution of this Union. I believe with the great political philoeonher ot the day. that no remedy can be devised by man for ihe curse of slavery that reals upon us. Coloniiation, though it may couler ihe bleasinga of civilisation upon Africa, can f- loru 10 us no aunsisntisi reuci. Amalgamation, which must sooner or later root out slavery in everv country in wnicn ine eiave is oi ina same race and color with his master, is hers forbidden bv a natural sentiment m now. erful ss almost lo assume the authority of a Divine com mand, the n grors cannot men be transported out nf our euuiury, uur can uiey insensioiy Dlena wnn, snd be lost in the mass ol our while population. Thev must remain a separate and distinct race furevcr. 8uppose, then, lhat ihe elavea of thn south should, in accordance with Iho wishes of the abolitionists, be freed from their their masters. It will hsrdly be claimed that political righta ahould also be accorded lo thorn, for thia in Ihe Slates whore ihey eromore numerous than the whiles wouiu give inein ine government aiao. now what, under such a state of things, would be the relative com i lion ot the two racea! tin the one hand would he the white! poaaessed of tha wealth, the intelligence, Ihe po ll power oi tue country ; and on Ihe other ihe blaeks, poor, degraded, destitute aa ihey now are of all political and social privileges, and only cursed with what muet be, even it granted to the fulleai practicable extent, a mere mockery oi ireeauin. History and philosophy alike tell us that freemen cannot long share so uneuual a lot lo- Ji'lher, and that sooner or later ono race muat and will rivo oul or exterminate the other. I look upon slavery, men, aa ma only possiuio condition on which ths two races in uur aouiiiorn country oan long exist together, i do not say, nor do I believe, thai slavery will exist for evur: I only aaert that Ihe philanthropy of Ihe aire. with all ila strength, ia utterly powerless before tins great evil. It is our unly consolation thai the linal issue of slavory ia in the hands of the great ruler of Stalea and Empires. bet, sir, let us examino this question of expediency, nnd see whether gentlemen are right tn their supposition that the rejection of iho pennon, ol Marks will alloy the excitement that prevnila among the abolitionists. And what ia il, sir, that getiilruirn profess lo frar from the aholitionitls! We were told tlie oilier day that unieas put duwn, they will, in order lo carry out their purposes, violate the constitution. And how do gentlemen propose to allay this excitement lhat threatens to violate the constitution! Vhy,sir,by violating the constitution themselves. Yes, sir. by committing what I believe, and what thousands ol our cilixeos conscientiously believe to be not only a violation of our constitution, but a violation ol a law Itiat is above all written eotiaiituiiona tho very law of our being. Uut again i of what do the almliiiouistscotiiplsin! They tell ua thai we have already deprived Ihe negro of righta lo which he is justly entitled, and ihey demand at our hands a restoration of these rights to him. And how do gentlemen propose lo meot these doniands! Why, sir, by depriving the negro of the only political right which even his Iricntlscsri olnim for In in under iheconalitulioui and ihis, il is said, is to quiet oxcitement. Bui wo are told, that it is time to take a bold and do-elded stand against the promulgation of doctrines that threaten, not only the tuin of tho alaveholding Slates, but even tho existence of the Qoverament. The gentle- man from Fairfield throw himself into tho breach, and he tells us that, if the (orient must overwhelm him, he is ready for the sacrifice. The gentleman from Licking declares that, at every hazard, these dangerous agitations must cease. And what earnest do the gentlemen give us of the sacrifices which they aland ready to make in this last desperato effort to save the nation? Do they move to reject the petitions of abolitionists? Do they move to reject tho petitions of ladies on this subject, who, it is admitted, are nut expressly permitted by tha constitution to petition? No, sir, the first great onset in this opening conflict is made upon the petition of aiz negroes! Let me tell gentlemen that it is not by assault a like these that oxoitementa are to be crushed or parties to be broken down. The history of the wo. M, air, furnishes the best com mentary upon all efforts to 'rumple upon the inherent and inalienable rights of men. The rapel anathemaa, Dacnea Dy uie tyranny ol temporal pnncea, were sent forth to guiet agitation among the champions of there-formation t and the fires of Smithfield wora ankindlad ta stop the mouths of men. Let statesmen look at their re- suits, ana learn wisdom trom the past. rnuosopny, too, teaches us lhat the minds of men are not to be quieted by insult, and a wanton disregard of justice. We should deal honestly with these petition ers; and if we must deny them their request, we should at least explain to them the reasons lhat influence us, u.u buubi j mum uiai our determination anaes, not from the want of the common feeling of humanity, bat from i solemn conviction of duty. i Mr. Speaker, I trust tho decision of the House will be right upon this great q uestion. Men and parties change excitements, with their causes, are soon forgotten f but principles are eternal. I could wish that day, establish a permanent precedent, that .hall aland a. a monument of tho firmnesa and justice of this House ' wncn me present generation, with all its inlerests, and fears, and hopes, shall have oaaaed awav. I dn not nn. aider it deroratory to the dignity of this honorable bod lo listen to the petitions of these human beings. Three centuries of oppression have bowed the spirit of theirrae io uie uuai. iney present themselves at our door,' and respectfully and humbly a. It for relief. Let us, et il-ii.i, rciuse mem wnn mnanessana in nieroyi and let no man be found among us who would stretch lorth his hand to break a reed, that God and man hava bolb to deeply bruised. Sir. this is no party auealion. laooeal to irenilem.n whether Thomne JcfTerson, the great apostle of democracy, whom they claim as their champion and leader, and whose benevolence waa aa wide aa the world, would, ercn while he lived, hava recorded his vole against the rightof petition! I repeal it, sir, this is not a party question. But, if it must be made so if Ihe bitiernesso? par--ty feeling must mingle with the discussion of a great constitutional right, be it so I, for one, shall lot shrink - irom mo conflict. We Hingoulour broad banner,and upon its folds we slnmpour mutto,"Ths rightof petition, in all its length and breadth, to every human being." Let the gentlemen lift up their standard also, and,aa it opens to ihebrerie, let it unfold Ihe worda, "Down with the ' right of petition." I trust, sir, that no Whig will be found to slain his hands with holding up this libel on ra- ' publicanism. For lb. Joarasl and leglstar. . Brough, Etq.t ( Sir The resolution which you offered aa in amendment to those offered by Mr. Flood, in the following worda: "Rwilttd, That the blacks and mulattoes, who may be residenls within this 8tau, hare no constitutional ri'.'ht to present their petitions to the General Aaaembly, for any purpose whalemn and that any reception of such petitions en the part of tlio General Aaaembly, ia t mere act of privilege or policy, and , not imposed by any express or implied powers of the Constitution," if not a Jargon of unintelligible words, is a denial of the right of petition by vir- 1 tue of inherent power possessed by the General Aaaembly, which you have failed lo describe. Aa I in- ' tend to arraign you, and not only you, but those who ' voted with you, before the bar of public: opinion, it ia ' but juat and right that you be called on for a dennl- ' tion of your words, that we may know what yon " really intend. Are you to be understood as admitting . that the Constitution imposes the duty on the Legist- . ture to receive petitions from whiti raoruc! Do yon intend lo be understood to eay that blacks and mulattoes are not to be numbered as piopls in their politl- ' cal agregatet Are we further to understand yon aa asserting that the people derive their right to petition . the General Assembly from the Constitution: or that they have such right, which Ihe Constitution ban pro- ' hibited you, or the General Assembly, from ever taking away, or abridging! Do you mean that the right of pennon ia a mere act oi privilege on the part ol ne--groea and mulattoes; or is It a privilege as applicable to proceedings on tlie part of the General Aaaembly! A privilege is an immunity or publio right, or it may he understood to grant or to exempt I am told you '" are a scholar, and can toll us the sense In whfch we ' are to understand you. If a publie right, it la the right of Ihe people, and must be enjoyed by negroes and mulattoes as well aa others, unless they be not people. If not people, what are they! If this right is to ba granted by the Legislature, and is the privilege of , that body, we would ask vou how they came to noa- seaa ill If this right ia nothing but mere policy, it ! still resolves itself into the same question ia it a policy io oe exercised uy lite people, ot is It ona con- ' nnca to tne legislature as such! Whether you favor the publio with an answer or not, I shall examine the whole around contained not . . only in yours, bul in Mr. Flood s resolutions; and want ol explanation ou your part, will authorise ma to give your words such construction aa I think yoo iiiienuea.
